             abstract = "Heat pipes are a closed tube or chamber of different shapes whose 
                         inner surfaces are lined with a porous capillary wick, containing 
                         a saturated working fluid. It is a technology not restricted to 
                         aerospace applications, which is frequently used as thermal 
                         control devices of satellites and space vehicles. Some other 
                         sectors are finding interest on applying heat pipes to promote the 
                         thermal control of electronic equipment and heat exchangers 
                         performance augmentation. The use of heat pipes in such equipment 
                         allows the development of more compact and efficient heat 
                         exchangers compared to traditional designs, which increases the 
                         interest on applying them for industrial purposes. Heat pipes 
                         operating at mid-level temperatures have found several 
                         applications on both aerospace and industry segments. This work 
                         has the objective to present experimental results of heat pipes 
                         operation designed and manufactured in stainless steel and copper, 
                         using water as working fluid, operating on cycles at temperatures 
                         up to 200°C focusing on industrial applications. Test results 
                         showed reliable operation during the cycles, with fast start-ups 
                         and transients, achieving thermal conductances of up to 21.9 W/°C. 
                         Even though water-copper heat pipes present a better thermal 
                         performance when compared to the water-stainless steel heat pipes, 
                         there is a wide application not only for industry but also for 
                         aerospace.",
